Christmas Ideas With Silhouette Cameo

Before starting a rundown of the best Christmas ideas with Silhouette Cameo, I am going to boost you up a little. Using your Silhouette Cameo to make crafts and decorations for Christmas is fast and easy, and the possibilities are just endless. With just a little effort, you can also save a lot of your money and use it for some other Christmas tradition instead of buying super expensive personalized Christmas decors. So, buckle up, get inspired, and create:

Snow Village Etched Cake Covering Dome

Cakes and Christmas go hand-in-hand; from plum cakes to modern iced cakes, we have so many options. But to cover them with beautiful cake lids would actually accentuate the aesthetics of your dining table or kitchen top. With your Silhouette Cameo, you can cut intricate snow village stickers or any other holiday design you like. Once you cut it out, simply apply it to the sides of your transparent cake dome by peeling off the sticky clear plastic. This simple trick saves your money in a blink of an eye and gives the best Christmas vibes.

Jingle All the Way Holiday Sign

Wooden holiday signs are a creative addition to the whole Christmas vibe. You can print famous Christmas jingles or make a signboard exclaiming the classic “Merry Christmas.”   I used the famous one-liner from my favorite Christmas carol- “jingles all the way.” You can hang these signboards near the fireplace, staircase, or in the mailbox. You can cut strong balsa wood using your Silhouette Cameo machine. And then, with just a few brush strokes, you will be good to go.

Rustic Christmas Sign

Nothing beats a traditional rustic decor piece. With time, we have become more technical and adore modern crafts. But trust me, a rustic Christmas sign is sometimes all that you need. To get the rustic vibe, use custom stencils that you can very easily cut out from your Cameo machine. Use that customized stencil to write classic font style Christmas phrases, and to add more class, use a fun woodsy decor on the sides. I bet this will give you the nostalgia for the old Christmas movie looks.

Faux Metal Christmas-tree Ornaments

The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of any Christmas decoration. A well-done tree could actually complete your whole Christmas look. But often times this process is anxious enough, you know, from finding the perfect pine tree, having good length is in itself a huge task. The last thing that often comes to our minds is stressing over ornamental pieces and glass balls to cover the entire tree. You can use a few layers of Silhouette chipboard and some embossing powder and create intricate faux metal ornaments to beautify your Christmas tree. Some design options I can suggest here are reindeer, Santa caps, bells, stars, etc. Once you cut the ornaments out, use a little strand of ribbon to hang them well on the tree.

Christmas Subway Art

Instead of running to the shopping mall to get good wall pictures, why not create some superfast and fun designs yourself? All you need is your desktop to get the design customized, your Silhouette Cameo cutting machine, a picture frame, and paper. Use little holiday-inspired texts, icons, pictures, graphics, texts, or images from the vast library of your designing app and print them out to frame it.

Reversible Holiday Blocks

Create your very own texts on some wooden blocks with your Silhouette Cameo machine. Cut some from a wooden piece and choose the size of each block. Use an electric sander for sanding the sides of the blocks, giving them a cleaner look. You can stain the blocks or leave them natural and then mod-podge the paper on the block. So instead of writing the texts just one side. I used the back side of the blocks to write something else.

Decorative/Etched Glass Blocks

Just as the previously explained wooden blocks are capable of upgrading your homes into a wonderland for Christmas, you can also use glass blocks as well. Simply take glass blocks of the size you prefer; no cutting or shaping is needed. Cut out beautiful calligraphed letters with the help of your Silhouette Cameo machine. And emboss them on your glass blocks; you can also add some fairy lights near the glass blocks to add more glamour to regular blocks.

Do-It-Yourself Lighted Sign

There are so many ways to make beautiful signs for Christmas; I also tried using lights on the sign to write letters. Believe me; it was a game changer. You can cut out Balsa wood in the shape you want to and then use mini light bulbs to write on the wooden block.

Etched Lightbulbs

Lightbulbs add so much beauty to the night times during Christmas. I guess the bling they add to the glory of Christmas nights is absolutely breathtaking. Lightbulbs are whole in themselves, but I believe in getting a little creative with them by etching Christmas-related designs on them. The light emitted from these beautifully etched light bulbs emits Christmas patterns on the walls near them, adding festivity to your homes at night.
